Controversial Swiss artist Milo Moire gave everyone something to talk about after participating in a protest in front of a cathedral in Cologne, Germany -- completely naked. In the middle of Winter.

The protest was organized following an apparent wave of sexual assaults and harrassments reported in the German city around New Year's Eve. Cologne police have been quoted saying that they received around 121 complaints around the time of the festivities, in which the perpetrators were described as men exhibiting "Arab and North African" traits.

Moire protested nude, carrying a sign in German which read: "Respect us! We are no fair game even when we are naked!!!"

This isn't the first time Moire generated controversy through nude demonstrations. In July, she was arrested for posing naked in front of the Trocadero, in Paris, taking selfies.
